Most Favorable Review

Precise and economical.

LITE-ON SK-1688U/B Black 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard
LITE-ON SK-1688U/B Black 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard

Pros: Modern and simple. The keyboard is basic but has a crisp, responsive feel. Priced very favorably. Heck, why not by a 2?

Cons: No wrist support. It seems all the big companies are cheapening up their products.

Most Critical Review

Drive failure

Refurbished HP 8200 Elite Tower Intel Core i5 2400 3.10 GHz / 16 GB DDR3 / 120 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD / DVD / Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Refurbished HP 8200 Elite Tower Intel Core i5 2400 3.10 GHz / 16 GB DDR3 / 120 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD / DVD / Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Pros: The work station is sturdy and came with lots of storage. I am using it for CAD and website development.

Cons: The solid state drive failed 1 month out of warranty. Be sure to save an image as a backup.

Overall Review: As a base it is surely worth the investment. Be advised that you may need to spend more to get the added features you want. Nvidia graphics card Wireless network adapter

Quiet!

ARCTIC F8 PWM Fluid Dynamic Bearing Case Fan, 80mm PWM Speed Control, 31 CFM at 22dBA
ARCTIC F8 PWM Fluid Dynamic Bearing Case Fan, 80mm PWM Speed Control, 31 CFM at 22dBA

Pros: This a very quiet reasonably priced fan. I am replacing a screaming meany. Sometime it is the small things that make the biggest difference. I plan to use this brand for all my new builds.

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: Measure twice and order once.

Caseless

Logitech S715i Rechargeable Speaker Dock for iPod or iPhone
Logitech S715i Rechargeable Speaker Dock for iPod or iPhone

Pros: Good sound with moderate bass. This speaker was a gift from my wife. I had been looking for a couple weeks and had not found exactly what I was looking for. I will probably keep looking for a unit that holds the phone securely and has more boom.

Cons: I have to remove my protective case to get a connection on the dock. Once connected the phone feels loose. I would not trust it anywhere. I would not walk around with the phone in place. Especially with out a case! Did I mention that I don't like having to take my case off?

Multi Media Ports

Koutech IO-RCM621 All-in-one USB 2.0 3.5" USB 2.0 Front Panel Multi-format Card Reader with USB 2.0 Port
Koutech IO-RCM621 All-in-one USB 2.0 3.5" USB 2.0 Front Panel Multi-format Card Reader with USB 2.0 Port

Pros: The card reader works great. It is nice not needing all of those dangling cords and adapters. Floppy drives are obsolete so I want to plug that hole with something useful.

Cons: It is hard to see the device ports with the computer resting on the floor.

Overall Review: Installing a card reader in one of the CD slots would be much easier to see (since they are on the top).

More for less.

Acer P235Hbmid Black 23" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000:1(ACM) Built-in Speakers
Acer P235Hbmid Black 23" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000:1(ACM) Built-in Speakers

Pros: Price vs. quality makes this the right wide screen choice. The 23" model is replacing a much more expensive 24" Acer model. So far I am very impressed with the picture and the lack of quirks (like having to reboot to turn the monitor back on).

Cons: None so far. I did not pay for flashy features..... I didn't expect any.

Overall Review: A plastic bebe resistant screen would be nice. My son's friend did in the 24" in such a manner. Ouch.
